Ringtide: Water Ring Toss

Ringtide is a water toy on your phone.

There is a tank full of water. Little rings sit on the floor. Two swords stand in the middle. Two buttons blow bubbles.

Hold a button. Bubbles come up and lift a ring. Get the ring over a sword and it slides on. That's it!

HOW TO PLAY
• Hold a button to blow bubbles from that side
• Keep holding and one big bubble grows. Let go and it pops. Whoosh!
• Tilt your phone and the water tips. The rings slide with it
• Each sword holds eight rings. Put on a ninth and the bottom one pops off. You keep the points

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
• Levels: 60 of them in five worlds. Each one asks for a pattern, like two red rings together. Be fast and win three stars
• Endless: no clock, no ending, and you can't lose
• Timed: one, two, five or ten minutes. Beat your best score
• Daily Challenge: new goals every day. Come back each day and open a chest
• Survival: three swords, three lives, and mines in the water. How long can you last?

FIVE WORLDS
Classic Ocean, Deep Waters, Sunken Ship, Arctic Sea and Volcano Reef. Each world has its own water, its own swords and its own music. Watch out for mines, jellyfish, ice blocks, lava, whirlpools, ink clouds and a tide that pulls the water down.

POWER-UPS AND SPECIAL RINGS
A Magnet pulls rings onto the swords. Slow Time makes everything slow. Extra Ring, Shield Bubble and Giant Bubble help too. Gold rings are worth more. Rainbow rings count as any colour. A Spike ring clears the loose rings around its sword.

COINS, SKINS AND TROPHIES
Win stars and finish daily goals to get coins. Spend coins on power-ups, new ring looks (like Candy, Donut and Watermelon) and new swords. There are thirteen trophies to collect.

CALM AND QUIET
No loud noises. The water sounds like real water, and every world has its own soft music. You can turn the music and the little vibrations off.

WHAT YOU WON'T FIND
• No ads
• No sign-in
• Nothing is collected about you. The game doesn't even use the internet
• Works anywhere, with no wifi
